I've been having this pain in my chest, specifically on the middle left side, and it's been happening just after I wake up. It only lasts for 1 or 2 minutes, but it comes with an elevated heartbeat, around 90 beats per minute. Should I be worried about this?

View allI'm really worried about my blood pressure lately. My 2D echo showed concentric LVH with an EF of 60 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I've been on medication since September, taking one tablet in the morning and two at night. Initially, my BP seemed stable, but now in December, it's been fluctuating a lot. Previously, it was around 12082 to 12585 in the morning and 13585 to 13882 in the afternoon. But now, I'm seeing readings like 14090 in the morning and 14894 in the afternoon. I'm active, so what's causing these changes in winter? How should I take care of my BP during this season?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially with your medical history of Concentric LVH and diastolic dysfunction. Considering your situation, I would recommend adding or adjusting your current medication regimen to better control your blood pressure during the winter season. You can discuss with your doctor about adding a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 5mg in the morning and a combination of Valsartan 80mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg in the evening. This can help in better blood pressure control throughout the day. In addition to medication, it is also important to make lifestyle modifications to help manage your blood pressure. This includes reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. It is not uncommon for blood pressure to fluctuate with the change in seasons, but with the right medication and lifestyle adjustments, you can better manage your blood pressure even during the winter months. Make sure to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for any further adjustments needed."

What does it mean when my TMT report says no significant STT changes were noted? Is this something I should be worried about? Ive attached the report for reference.
In your TMT report, the mention of "No significant ST-T changes noted" means that there were no abnormal changes observed in the ST segment or T wave of your electrocardiogram during the test. This is a good sign as it indicates that there are no signs of ischemia or heart muscle damage during physical activity. There is no need to worry about this finding.
